Willie Albert Gunter was born to the late Albert and Addie Mae (Borum) Gunter on June 23, 1942 in Dearing, Georgia. As a youth his friends and family remember Willie as a natural born entertainer, he had a gift for making people laugh. Willie also had a passion for music, he would play in his church band from childhood to adult, and for many years people would gather around him to hear him sing and play the harmonica. Furthermore, Willie would often go fishing, that was a hobby he truly enjoyed.
